Tried my first gas cloud harvesting in Eve . It... didn't go too well. Probed and found an unstable wormhole, and jumped right through it. Being in -1.0 sec, it sure does feel lonely to be in unreachable space. I remembered (this time!) to save the wormhole's location, so I wouldn't end up drifting ...

Speaking of Lord of the Rings Online , here's my Hobbit burglar earlier today, aside my pet horse, next to a downed oliphaunt, with the partly-ruined Minas Tirith in the background, just after the battle of Pelennor Fields. http://i.imgur.com/pXdNGEo.png The destroyed Mordorian siege ordnance lies s...

Interesting read on how the tactics of Gamergaters should have been seen as a template for the emergence of the alt-right movement . Looking back, Gamergate really only made sense in one way: as an exemplar of what Umberto Eco called “eternal fascism”, a form of extremism he believed could flourish ...

↶ 1. Is the BBC a good source for Real News? 2. Do you think Don J. knows what weight reputation has in the hearts and minds of people from Asian cultures? ⋅ The BBC, in being a taxpayer-funded enterprise, in its news must demonstrably show impartiality towards all political parties, as g...

↶ May I ask? Felstaff; Why did you ask the question? He's giving it the big I am . Like Trump. Reasonable people (generally) can't stand him. Like Trump. Older people (generally) laud him for speaking his mind. Like Trump. He wants to become the unofficial ambassador to the US. Appearing not dissim...

↶ For example, hearing the presenters of Top Gear pronounce Dacia was weird to me, because to me it has always been [ˈdat͡ʃi.a] (thanks, Wikipedia). Wait, you mean that's not how everyone pronounces Dacia? The advertising on UK television pronounces it " datcha ". Like Cleopatra, comin' a...

I need a SteamLock, an invention I just made up, to stop me buying everything on Steam, right now. I just bought Mass Effect--a game I already own --for £1.99. I'm thinking the SteamLock should be a physical room, with no doors or windows. Just a hermetically-sealed box. The texture mapping is simpl...

My 5-day old Eve character managed to simply orbit some kernite for a few days... I haven't encountered any other players in my little 0.4 enclave. My 11-year old Eve character has lost their name! They're simply "Gallente Citizen 21956747". I got a mail saying my PLEX expires in -4,057 da...

↶ http://www.xkcd.com/74/ Shouldn't there be a 0 in the first row first column and a 1 in the second row one so that each rows' and columns' sums equal 1? ↶ (Not sure if you've checked the accepted format for Comic threads starting. I see you've been adding a few recently.) Yes. Monox, please read ...

↶ It said, "The State will no longer pay for Opiates as pain relief for cancer patients;" "Because; That population of people die in greater numbers than the general population." I don't get it. The death rate is 100%. http://i.onionstatic.com/onion/2614/original/304.jpg

↶ I'm pretty sure this is the most random news article ever. Kidlington 'mystery tourists' baffle Oxfordshire village. Basically, bus groups of tourists are appearing and taken pictures of people's random houses. They are even the modern ones, rather than the oldey timey ones. Mystery solved .

↶ There is a building somewhere (I don't feel like googling right now) whose side is all glass (windows) and concave, and at the right time of day, it concentrates the sun's rays on the street. Cars parked there have been melted. Architecture fail. (Or architecture win, depending on which side you'...

So I've just finished work. It's been a hectic all-hands-on-deck Friday, and crucial people had gone down the pub. I told my team to down tools, go join their colleagues for a tipple, and resume on Monday. I logged off, and went outside in my garden to get a moment's meditation and peace. As I stood...

↶ I've stopped reading the rest of your linkdump. I'm 7 links in and you have linked absolutely nothing remotely interesting. From what I've read so far, apparently some rich guy who writes for the Huffington Post wants to put Hillary Clinton in a good light. It essentially shows Hillary Clinton ha...
